JR Love, for most users it will be an automatic process (and you fall into this camp). The new apps will be downloaded, and you just sit back and watch the show.
For some users there may be a glitch when their anti-virus software gets a bit over excited, the team is aware of this and is trying to work out a resolution, but the warning message can be ignored.
Its only the real nerds who are having problems, trying to guess how to do things that haven't been made public. The reason for some information not being made public is to try to have as smooth a transition as possible, and some folks just love digging holes and building piles...

I was expecting that the new SETI@home v7 WUs will be bigger/longer than the old SETI@home Enhanced WUs, but so far I can't notice such thing. Is there, somewhere, where I could read about the general improvements in the new application ... maybe the beta forum?

You're running Astropulse tasks --for which there is no v7 application-- and other than that you run the anonymous platform. So probably an optimized application, most probably the old v6.

When you run anonymous platform YOU have to do the application updates, download them by hand, add their names and what they do to the app_info.xml file. This isn't done automatically. The v7 applications are only downloaded automatically when you use the default setting, no anonymous platform.

Misschien moet je tijdelijk van je app_info.xml afstappen, dan kun je dit weekend de gewone v7 draaien. En anders, doe ff zoeken in Number Crunching, genoeg draden daar met informatie wat je aan moet passen in je app_info.xml plus waar je de v7 app + .dll vandaan kunt laden.

De nieuwe geoptimaliseerde installer komt maandag pas. Dus, je kunt ook tot die tijd je BOINC uitgooien.

Er wordt geen v6 werk meer gemaakt, er zijn daar alleen 'resends' van.

The auto correlation increases the sensitivity for weak signals by how many db? Has this been posted?

I am aware of that ... and YOU are right - I still run the old optimised apps - both MB and Astropulse. I've decided to switch to SETI@home v7 the following week. My question here is just out of curiosity, in case somebody knows where I could find the info! :)

OK question. Which will give more credit stock V7 or Lunatics enhanced V6? And which is more use to Seti?

Neither is of particular use to SETI - SETI isn't, I profoundly hope, primarily concerned with its own survival.

v7 should be of more interest to the world and humankind in general, because the more detailed search should increase the chances of answering the age-old question: are we alone?

And the question of credit is so un-newsworthy that I'm going to leave it un-answered: largely because I don't know the answer, and I don't even want to know the answer.

The answer is: It also has support for other certain graphics cards brand's models (i.e. ATI) I like Canadians.. they taste like chicken LOL ... but - like he said... these code writers are so awesome! I'm just tickled pink that I can actually take part. My question will remain unanswered... "Where is the outer edge of the universe?"

From BOINC Manager window click button 'Project web pages' then 'Your Account' then browser opens and look for blue link under 'Preferences' then click 'SETI@home preferences' scroll to bottom of page and click 'Edit SETI@home preferences'. Then under 'Run only the selected applications' you may tick 'SETI@home v7' I left 'SETI@home enhanced' checked. C'mon geeks, yall should have a post here with instructions like mine. "dammit! I am the great cornholio!"...

Answer: I rebooted with both SETI programs ticked and after boot-up the SETI@home Enhanced (which was the only program I have ever run) was auto-unchecked.... and the only program checked (after reboot) was 'SETI v7'.. like Bob said (good on ya Bob) "just sit back and watch the show".. well maybe .. unless yer really dumber than a bag of rocks like me LOL!

In other words- Any of you newbies out there in never-never-land (like me) follow my previous posts instructions and you should have no problems getting V7 to run. God bless America and raise yer glass to the geeks!

Just noticed, that
1. with the DL of new set of WU, there was a .dll among the files (?)
2. An AP DL failed for unknown reasons. Was OK before the Version 7 thing happened.

Anyone seen this happen before?

EDIT: I renamed the app_info.xml as posted here:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=71773&postid=1373766

Is this the reason why the AP DL failed?

Remove your app_info, Restart Boinc and reset the project, the project will send you the new applications.

I've done it and I've received only Astropulse_V6 6.01 for CPU and 04 for CUDA (standard apps).
I don't see any new app_info
Questions:
1) lunatics apps are dead? Forever?
2) When I will receive V7?
3) For config file in order to run multiple CUDA, have I to write it by hand?

Thanks in advance

1) All the Stock v7 GPU apps are Lunatics apps now!
2) You did go and enable 'SETI@home v7: yes' in your project preferences didn't you?
3) No, you copy and paste it from one of the posts in Number Crunching, and edit it to your requirements.

1: great! But Only GPU? Why not CPU Too? Sooner or Later?
2: NO, I didn't. Now I've done it on project page and I'v done "update" on the host 25 min ago. Nothing, untill now. Have I to reset again or have I only to wait?
3: What do you mean with (mine) requirements?

I have found this:

Make a new text file named app_config.xml and have this in the contents

<app_config>
<app>
<name>setiathome_v7</name>
<gpu_versions>
<gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage>
<cpu_usage>.04</cpu_usage>
</gpu_versions>
</app>
</app_config> 


and this

<app_config> 
<app> <name>setiathome_enhanced</name> 
<max_concurrent>6</max_concurrent> 
<gpu_versions> 
<gpu_usage>0.5</gpu_usage> 
<cpu_usage>0.04</cpu_usage> 
</gpu_versions> 
</app> 
</app_config>


As I understand I will have V6 and V7, both GPU and CPU.
On some Hosts I run only one GPU task, on three ones I run two.
